OK have a broad mind and try to concieve this. Take away money. create a state of mutual cooperation, state providing food accomodation health care clothing all life's basic needs, you dont have to work if you dont want to. the state would provide every thing you need in order to survive. to recieve the good things in life like holidays and wide screen tv's you have to earn them by contributing to society. the value of the goods is determined by the value of the contributions made by other people to make those goods. if you choose not to contribute to society you recieve none of the benefits of it, people will want to work. Because someones worth is seen in terms of the contribution they have made to society and not money, people will respect one another more.
you can incorporate a legal framework using the points system to punish someone.
this will be a true democrasy with the freedom of speech and the right to live as you please for all.

Sounds a lot like a socialist vision. Me being a socialist, it makes a lot of sense. Of course, the explanation you provide is a bit simplified but it is interesting none the less.
You should look into socialist theory.

And how does the state initially buy the basics and the rewards? This does not seem too far from Castro's thinking where EVERY WORKER in Cuba receives the equivalent of $12.00 a month, except those who can work a second job in the tourist industry. This means doctors, lawyers, janitors, everybody makes the same. But the U.S. has had an embargo for over 40 ot 50 years, so the people have little in the way of material goods. But they have good health care and most are literate.

The basic concept of Communinistic Utopia is what you have just described. It has been tried before and although sounds good in theory it failed miserably in practice.

Conflict Theory. Communism. Utopia. It's all the same as what you are espousing.
